Does Rhinoplasty Improve Nasal Breathing?

Facial Plastic Surgery, 2010
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to improve nasal aesthetics and nasal breathing. The aesthetic improvement of the nose is usually judged subjectively by the patient and the surgeon, but the degree of improvement of nasal obstruction is difficult to assess by clinical examination only.

An assessment of nasal functions in control of breathing

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1988
Breathing pattern and steady-state CO2 ventilatory response during mouth breathing were compared with those during nose breathing in nine healthy adults. In addition, the effect of warming and humidification of the inspired air on the ventilatory response was observed during breathing through a mouthpiece. We found the following.

Nasal Airway in Breathing and Speech

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 1992
Clefts of the lip and palate frequently produce nasal deformities that tend to reduce the size of the nasal airway. Approximately 70% of the cleft population have nasal airway impairment and about 80% “mouth-breathe” to some extent. Surgical correction of nasal, palatal, and pharyngeal structures may further compromise breathing. Type of cleft appears

Effects of the Breathe Right Nasal Strips on Nasal Ventilation

American Journal of Rhinology, 1997
The Breathe Right nasal strips are more and more commonly used, mainly by athletes, who hope to enhance their physical performance in competition and training. The effect of the device in such situations is uncertain and perhaps somewhat controversial.

Impact of Impaired Nasal Breathing on Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Sleep and Breathing, 2003
The role of the nose and its importance in the development and severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is still a matter of discussion. In the first part of this study, often-controversial data and theories about the nose are reviewed concerning its influence on the pathophysiology of SDB and to interpret certain clinical findings connected with ...

The Nose and Nasal Breathing in Sleep Apnea

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2020
Assessment of the nose is critical in evaluating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because the nose plays an important role in the physiology of sleep by regulating nasal airway resistance and stimulating ventilation. Nasal obstruction is common in sleep apnea, contributes to OSA, and interferes with tolerance of OSA treatment with continuous positive ...

Cervical Posture and Nasal Breathing in Infancy

Cells Tissues Organs, 1994
Survival of infants born with bilateral choanal atresia or pyriform aperture stenosis who breathe orally, as well as experimental data, challenge the virtually axiomatic theory of ‘obligatory’ nose breathing of the neonate. The anatomical parameters leading to the infant’s airway patency and to airway obstruction were studied on midsagittal anatomical ...

Nasal obstruction and sleep-disordered breathing

Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2006
Nasal obstruction can be an undiagnosed contributor to sleep-disordered breathing in certain patients. The nasal valve is composed of many individual parts that may contribute to nasal obstruction. Three different theories have been postulated to link nasal obstruction and sleep-disordered breathing, which include increased airway resistance, unstable ...

Nasal Prongs and Work of Breathing

Pediatrics, 1980
The subject of the article by Goldman et al1 is without doubt a highly interesting one to which our attention had been drawn a few years ago. We became aware of the fact that, although most of our neonates treated with continous positive airway pressure (CPAP) did well, some seemed to become exhausted very quickly by the apparently increased work of ...

Nasal obstruction in sleep-disordered breathing

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2003
It has been 30 years since Cottle suggested that "sleeping patterns are in great measure dependent on good nasal function" [1]. During this time, we have identified the OSAHS and related forms of sleep-disordered breathing such as UARS, and better appreciate the clinical sequelae of recurrent arousals and sleep fragmentation.
